Private Lake House Retreat Reviews

Nice view of the lake, nice screened-in porch. Close to other places, for example, Bison and Elk Prairie. One complaint, not enough towel rods,

The maid service was poor. Not very clean and we had to do 2 loads of towels from previous renters. Nice location and easy access to lake and ramp. Outside property needs some cleaning.

The property was as pictured and clean. Nice quiet street and the home had plenty of space. We rented a pontoon and our 8 yr old grandson caught his first catfish, almost 3 lbs. ! Would have liked a tv in our grandsons room, but we knew when we rented there wasn’t one. I brought my laptop and he was able to watch streaming channels from the homes free internet/Wi-Fi.

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is exactly as described. The free access to the boat docks was a plus. There's a boat ramp really close to the property which was nice.

This house is on a quiet dead end street, right on the water and close to Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. The manager was very responsive to our requests.

Ok

Great location, easy check in. Very quiet and relaxing. Cabin had everything we needed.

House is nice, & roomy, needs quite a few fairly minor repairs. Beach description misleading, not kid friendly.

Really enjoyed renting this spacious property. Loved the beautiful view of Lake Barkley from the screened-in porch as well as the deck. Owner was readily available to answer our inquiries. Owner also provided pontoon boats to enjoy at a reasonable price. Would definitely stay at this property again.

We really wanted to love this place. The great location, the beautiful views of the lake, the easy access to the water, it is all as described. So, if you are planning on spending all your time in, by, or on the water, this might work for you. If, however, you are also looking for indoor comforts, you might be disappointed. Our biggest issues were the bedrooms. The room downstairs was extremely loud since the air conditioner is literally on the other side of the bed's headboard. I am not sure how anybody could get a good night's sleep there. My family couldn't. The bunk bed frame is so squeaky that you can hear it throughout the entire house every time someone turns in that bed. I don't know how more than one person can sleep in that bed and get any rest. Except for the room with the bunk bed, none of the rooms have bedside lamps. If you want to read an old fashioned book at night, you will have to do it with the overhead lights on. If you need to get up in the middle of the night, good luck finding the light switches on the wall. Nor ideal for kids or elderly people. The bedside lamps are certainly not a huge issue but representative of the overall lack of TLC. This house could be a real gem but needs some serious attention, starting with a deep cleaning (think cabinet and closet door, floor boards, THE SCREENED-IN PORCH!). Making sure that the doors fit well into their frames might also prevent mice in the house. Not my idea of a relaxing vacation to start the day by cleaning mouse droppings off the kitchen counter. To summarize, we were determined to have a good time and we did -- but it shouldn't have taken such effort. Btw, the property manager was very responsive and immediately took care of issues that we reported to him; namely, those issues that could easily be addressed (Obviously, he couldn't have done anything about the location of the air conditioner, etc.).
